can you take a list from word and put each item on a row in excel?

I am trying to take a list from word and put each item on a row in excel. Is there a formula or conversation that can accomplish this? See example below:

Currently in Word Doc as:

Smith, jones, april johson, beth tibbet, ariel clark

Want it to look like this in excel:

Column (across) =
Row (down) A B C
1 Smith
2 Jones
3 april johson
4 beth tibbet
5 ariel clark

Thanks
